7 Monitoring SOA Composite Applications 7-1 7 Monitoring SOA Composite Applications This chapter describes how to monitor instances and faults in SOA composite applications. This chapter includes the following topic: ■ Section 7.1, Monitoring SOA Composite Application Recent Instances and Faults For more information, see Section 1.2.2, Introduction to SOA Composite Applications.

7.1 Monitoring SOA Composite Application Recent Instances and Faults

You can monitor SOA composite application recent instances and faults from the SOA composite application Dashboard page. This page provides a high-level overview of the most recent state of the application. To monitor SOA composite application recent instances and faults: 1. Access this page through one of the following options:

2. Click Dashboard if it is not selected.

The upper part of the Dashboard page displays the following details: ■ A summary of composite lifecycle states at the top of the Dashboard page, such as the number of running instances, total instances, and mode of the composite active or retired. ■ Recent SOA composite application instances, including the instance ID, name, conversation ID, state for example, faulted or completed, and start time. ■ Recent faults and rejected messages, including the error message, whether you can recover from the fault, the time at which the fault occurred, the fault location service, service component, or reference, the instance ID of the SOA composite application, and a link to log files describing the fault. From the SOA Infrastructure Menu... From the SOA Folder in the Navigator... 1. Select Home. 2. Select the Deployed Composites tab. 3. In the Composite section, select a specific SOA composite application. 1. Under soa-infra, select a specific SOA composite application. 7-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle BPM Suite

3. In the Recent Instances section, perform the following tasks:

a. In the Instance ID column, click a specific instance ID to receive all instance

details flow trace and individual component audit trails about the composite application. This displays the faults in the continuous context of a message flow from instance to instance.

b. Click Show All below the section to access the Instances page of the SOA

composite application.

4. In the Recent Faults and Rejected Messages section, perform the following tasks:

a. In the Error Message column, click an error message to display complete

information about the fault. If the fault is identified as recoverable, click the Recover Now link to perform fault recovery.

b. In the Recovery column, if a fault is identified as recoverable, click Recover to

perform fault recovery at the component instance level.

c. In the Fault Location column, click a specific location to access the Dashboard

page for the service, service component, or reference.

d. In the Composite Instance ID column, click a composite instance ID to access

the flow trace of the message that contains the fault. This displays the faults in the continuous context of a message flow from instance to instance. Note: If you disable the Capture Composite Instance State checkbox, the Recent Instances section does not show instances requiring fault recovery as running. However, these instances in need of recovery are still running and display in the Recoverable column of the Component Metrics section of this page, regardless of whether the instances state is captured or not.
